Pistons will begin NBA draft workouts Wednesday

AUBURN HILLS -- And now, here's the non-Flip Saunders portion of our daily coverage. The NBA draft will be here before you know it, which means workouts will be full effect by all teams -- including the Pistons.

Here's a preliminary list of players who will be at the team's practice facility in the coming weeks.

Now keep in mind, this list likely will expand as wannabe mid-first rounders discover that nobody in the middle of the first round wants them and teams picking near the end of the first round, such as Detroit, could be their only shot at a guaranteed first-round pick contract.

Of course, there also will be a few that Detroit might consider with the No. 59 pick. But there's a very good shot that whoever they select that late into the draft, will be an overseas project.

I meant to give you folks this list earlier, but uh, today's been a little busier than usual, know what I mean?
